Characteristics

Baba Yaga typically appears as an old crone, but through hallucinations is capable of appearing as other people.

Powers and abilities

• Invisibility - Baba Yaga is invisible except for when she wants to be seen.
• Enhanced speed − She is able to move at incredible speeds when posing as a ghost.
• Enhanced strength - Baba Yaga shows inhuman strength, throwing Sam across a room and easily overpowering Dean in a fight.
• Telekinesis - Baba Yaga causes the Boggle tiles to shake from across the room and opens and closes a motel room door.
• Electrokinesis - Baba Yaga is able to make the lights flicker and go out.
• Immortality - Baba Yaga is centuries old and is stated by Sam to be immortal, "kind of."
• Mental manipulation − Her primary power is to manipulate the minds of others, using hallucinations to torment her victims. At one point, she almost appears to put Dean into a trance.
• Shapeshifting − She is able to shift into any form she wants, including mimicking ghosts.
• Invulnerability - She is invulnerable to harm, merely flinching from a gunshot and only being angered by Sam stabbing her in the back.
• Regeneration - In 2020, she has regrown the fingers that Dean cut off in 1993.

Weaknesses

• Her ring − The source of Baba Yaga's power, it is her one and only weakness. When Dean cut it off in 1993 and it became damaged, she dissolved into dust and became dormant for over 20 years until the ring was repaired by Travis Johnson. When Dean removed her ring from her finger, Baba Yaga became noticeably weaker as Dean was able to kick her across a room when before she was too strong for him to overpower. After Dean smashed the ring, Baba Yaga was killed.

Trivia

• Baba Yaga is the third monster defeated years before that the Winchesters have had to come back to finish for good. The first was the shtriga in 1.18 Something Wicked and the second was the Soul Eater in 11.16 Safe House.
